Photographs of Extinct colleagues
The rest of us are standing on the shoulders of Giants... Some of these giants were more generalist in their benchmark work on beetles. Please read the biographical notes, many from Wikipedia or the World Directory of Scarab Workers website; thanks are due to Dr. Brett Ratcliffe, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, for building such an information-rich site. The * indicates that a photo is present in the linked page for biographical notes. Those with the D indicate at least some of the listed publications are linked to either PDF or to digital copies at other sites.
